Survey by Sabrina Fiege
The complete, uncut USS Drug Survey Results:
Only about 10% of the school answered this survey. I put surveys in
the mailboxes of teachers of different grade homerooms, but not all of
them returned the surveys. The most accurate grade level is OAC students,
with about 50% of OAC’s answering the survey. This is because people with
me on spare answered the survey, plus all OAC homeroom teachers returned
completed surveys to me.
Grade 11 results were not included, as only 2 of them answered the
survey.
Some numbers may be different from either Times Journal or Tiger’s
Roar stats. This is because of new people added since the writing of those
articles.
